Corbett Transition Team Meets

After years of reckless spending and increased taxes that shrank Pennsylvania’s economy while growing its debt, voters in the Commonwealth were ready for a major shift in the Governor’s mansion.  Governor-elect Tom Corbett took a major step toward delivering this new approach in convening his 400-plus-member gubernatorial transition team this week.

Here’s what the Associated Press had to say: “Corbett on Tuesday characterized the collection of more than 400 business leaders, veterans of past Republican administrations, conservative activists, legislators and even a few Democrats as “a fresh set of eyes” with which the architects of his administration can size up state government and recommend new ways of doing things.”

That should be welcome news to the people of PA.

It’s worth noting that Tom is starting out his administration with some experienced Democrats on his team, including Sen. Anthony Williams and Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham.
